August Stewardship Day

August 16, 2025 from 10:00am to Noon

Want a sneak peek at one of our new properties? Join COL in controlling invasive shrubs and be one of the first people to see Chapman Nature Preserve! This property is located in Royalton Township off of Bacon School Road just north of Fox Ridge, next to the Royalton Township Nature Trail. 

No equipment or experience is required. COL staff will bring the tools; you just bring sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a positive attitude!

Registration is encouraged—it helps us make sure we bring enough supplies to go around! Email COL Stewardship Manager Dan Engel at dengel@chikamingopenlands.org, or call (269) 405-1006 to let us know you're coming.
